As to the jurisdiction of the Court:
ii. On the Applicant's application for a staying of ongoing criminal
proceedings in the Togolese courts:

iii. On the Applicant’s pleas of violation of Articles 10 of the UDHR, Article
14(1), 2nd sentence, Article 14(3-b) of the ICCPR, Article 7(1) of the
African Charter and taking into account the jurisprudence of international
human rights courts:

procedure leading to the waiver of the Applicant’s parliamentary immunity
because the special committee constituted is not a Court within the meaning
of international law.

Respondent has not violated any of the texts.
v. As to other pleas in law raised by the Applicant:
a) To declare that they are unfounded.

order the Applicant to pay the costs in accordance with Rule 66 of the Rules
